Governor Fubara Should Ignore The Antagonism And Govern Without Distraction – GEJ

Former Nigeria President, Goodluck Jonathan has come out to say that the political war staged against the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara will eventually make him emerge as a General in politics.

He recently had his say while speaking at the 1st Etche Festival of Food, Art and Culture Exhibition held at Nihi Community in Etche Local Government Area of the State, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he can only plead with the people of Rivers State to collectively ensure that they continue to support Governor Fubara in order to ensure peace and development in the state.

He then urged Fubara not to be worried by the political antagonism against his administration, but to remain dedicated to the obligations of governance without being distracted.

His words, “I know you are passing through challenges, and at occasions like these, I try to keep quiet. I don’t like to say certain things.

But this is first time you are holding a top political office. You will pass through a lot. And just know that nobody becomes a General without fighting wars.

So, whatever challenges you are meeting now is baking you to be a General in politics. And with your total commitment and with the support I have seen from the people of Rivers State, God will surely see you through.

We want a peaceful Rivers State, because Rivers State is the centre of the Niger Delta. And I always make it very clear: if we create serious perturbation in Rivers State, we are creating crisis in the Niger Delta, which is not good for our economy as a nation.

We want a peaceful Rivers State. We want the Governor of Rivers State to be allowed to remain calm and do his work. After he finishes serving, another person will take over.

In political office, we have tenures. And so, we don’t need to kill ourselves over any political office. Allow those who are there to do their work, and after that, anything can happen.”

Fubara added, “Let me thank our father for coming to grace this occasion. It is not just for the celebrant being close to him. This goes to show that he is a man who is very simple, who believes that humanity is the most priceless thing you can give to anybody. Coming here to celebrate with the Etche people is a sign of humility. So, I want to thank you for coming and to be with us today.

When I was told that our Daddy (Jonathan) will be coming here, I had to cancel all other programmes that I had to be here to receive him and to honour him.”

WOW.
